LECTURE III 
STYLISTIC DIFFERENTIATION OF THE ENGLISH VOCABULARY 
Problems for discussion: 
1. The general stratums of the English language. 
2. Literary-bookish words. 
3. Colloquial words. 
All the words comprising the English vocabulary may be divided into three groups from the stylistic 
point of view: neutral, which is the bulkiest, literary-bookish and colloquial. Let us compare the 
following words: kid-child-infant; chap – fellow - associate ; dad (daddy) – father - parent; to get out - 
to go away - to retire ; to go on - to continue – proceed. The difference between all these words is very 
clearly seen. 
Literary-bookish words. All the words classified as literary can be divided into general literary and 
special literary words. General literary words which are also called high-flown words, appearing in the 
text or oral utterance create the effect of elevated official, learned:concord, ornament, harmony, 
morosity, partaking, muse, coupleuwnt, rondure, in accordance with, alacrity, to render assistance. 
Special literary words are subdivided into four groups: 
1. neologisms 
2. archaisms 
3. terms 
4. barbarisms 
NEOLOGISMS are new words usually appearing as names of new phenomena and thus enriching 
the vocabulary. But not all neologisms are accepted by the dictionary. A great number of them remain 
individual creations and do not appear outside the pages of the book. They must be called individual or 
stylistic neologisms. For example, taking the model to dress - to undress to do - to undo English writer T. 
Howard in the sentence creates his own neologism: 
l.She was waiting/or smth, to happen or for everything to unhappen. 
2. She was a young and unbeautiful woman. 
Many stylistic neologisms are created through conversion: Being an affectionate soul she liked 
somebody, whom she could "motherland "my dear" 
Neologisms are usually appear in the belles - lettres style and newspaper style. The main stylistic 
function of neologism in the belles - lettres is to create a humorous effect. 
"I love you mucher Plenty mucher? Me tooer" 
The linguistic nature of humour in these neologisms lies in violating the laws of word - building.

ARCHAISMS. 
To this group of words we refer archaisms proper, i.e. obsolete words replaced by new ones: 
hither - here, thee, thou - you, haply -perhaps, historical words, i.e. words denoting such concepts and 
phenomena that have gone out of use in Modern times ( te. knight, spear, lance, lord, goblet.} 
Archaisms are mainly used in works developing historical themes. Their main stylistic function is 
to create the true – to- life background in historical works. 
In English poetical style there exists a special group of words, so called poetical words, which also 
belong to archaisms. They are not used in ordinary literary English and are preserved in the English 
vocabulary for special poetic purposes, producing elevated effect: 
woe – sorrow; hapless – unlucky; staunch – firm; barken – hear.
